A business system is en ensable of practices, which are usually chronologican hence they happen in particular order, that transform an input into a desired output or result.
Anything in business is actually a system and should be managed and handled as such
Let’s see a specific example:
- A request comes in through your email inbox. This acts as a trigger.
- Someone in the team receives the email and shares it with the appropriate colleague.
- Said colleague then elaborates on the request and collect commercial documentation from the shared company folders
- They send it over to the prospective Customer (who made the original enquiry) using a pre-defined and well-oiled email script that is known to generate on average a quick follow up action from the Customer.
- The prospective Customer replies and engages with the sales team, moving on to the next stage in the internal sales pipeline.
This is a business system in place, which transforms the input (aka the request received by email) into a desired result (aka the lead moving ahead in the company sales pipeline).
So far it sounds fairly easy, but there’s a catch:
recognising a system when you see one does not equal being able to effortlessly create one from scratch and spread it across the organisation for anyone to use.
In order to be able to do that, you can leverage Intelness system builder, which lets you easily systemise your company and business in a simple and organised way.
